About the host

Hosted by Jack Lelwica

Host profile image
We live on Otter Tail lake and our kids go to Battle Lake School. We wanted to build a space to share with others to feature the amazing life Otter Tail Lake and the surrounding area has to offer.

Why they chose this property

We developed this neighborhood to bring a wooded and nature feel to lakeshore property. In Norwood there are wild animals and an abundance of untouched nature. Norwood brings nature and lake living together.

What makes this property unique

As a new development, The Oaken house is the first home in a 14 lot neighborhood so this year in 2025 you will have all of the 30 acres of space all to yourself. All 700 feet of sandy beach, pickleball court, playset, nature trails just for you. In the years to come more homes will come and the space will become shared over the 13 other neighbors.
